Assembly
Before you stuff the body, attach the ears, bow, and arms.
Embroider the face.
Attach the legs.
Finishing Tips
Stuff the body firmly but evenly to keep the shape. Use small stitches to sew parts on securely and weave in all ends. If using safety eyes, add them before stuffing the head. Embroider the whiskers and mouth with a contrasting thread for definition. To clean, spot clean gently with a damp cloth; avoid submerging if using safety eyes or decorative trims.
